Traveling for Yale

Read through these helpful pages while preparing for your business travel:

There are many types of travel insurance and travel assistance available to the Yale community. Some expenses are reimbursable and some are not. For more information, please visit the following Yale Polices & Procedures links.

Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance

The University maintains a business travel insurance policy that provides coverage for accidental death or dismemberment and permanent total disability while an employee is traveling on University business.

Coverage begins when employees leave their residence or place of employment for the purpose of a business trip and ends when employees return to their residence or place of employment. Employees traveling in groups should be aware that the University is subject to a maximum insurance limitation per accident and they should consult the Office of Risk Management for more information. Major insurance exclusions apply to certain leaves of absence, flying as a pilot, war, suicide, and flying in aircraft owned or leased by the University.

The University does not reimburse for the cost of life insurance purchased by travelers to provide additional protection for their families.

Generally, the University does not reimburse travelers for trip cancelation insurance. In special circumstances, it may be reasonable based on the high cost of an airline ticket. Before purchasing such a ticket, the traveler should determine if it makes more sense to purchase a refundable ticket. Proper documentation must be provided. 

Emergency Travel Assistance Program

The University maintains an Emergency Evacuation and Travel Assistance program that provides medical, personal safety and travel-related assistance services if an emergency arises while traveling domestically or internationally.  Domestic coverage is included for travel 100 miles or more from home while on University business, and coverage applies to all international travel for business or pleasure. For more information, contact the Office of Risk Management.

Coverage for Personal Effects

Loss of or damage to personal belongings of the traveler are not covered by the University insurance.
